-The empire claims an area of 1200 parsecs across from side to side and all the way to "top and bottom" of the galactic disk(about 300 pc high), but given that volume is 339 million cubic parsecs and that the volume has approximately 41 million star systems and the fastest starships take 267 days to travel from one end to other, only about 1 in 67 star systems in the area has any presence from the empire. In practice very few of the colonies and tertiary systems are more than 300 parsecs from core and none of the larger systems are.

 The primary systems are each owned by one of the great noble families. The secondary systems are all owned by a lesser noble house each, tertiary systems are mostly owned as additional systems by great noble houses, but a large number are formerly independent planets that have joined the empire.

 There are 174 great noble houses, slightly less than 17400 lesser noble houses and slightly below 1.74 million minor noble houses.
-By the constitution there are 174 great houses and maximally 100 times lesser and 10000 times minor noble houses. If a house loses great noble status for some reason(and few have happened though the years, mostly due to treason), one of the lesser noble houses has to be appointed as a greater house within a year and a day. Whereas there is no time limit or absolute requirement to fill the ranks of the lower houses, but they tend to be reasonably close to the maximum(normally less than 1% below)

+===== Imperial military =====
+The imperial service is a unified service with everyone part of the same service in theory. In practice the different branches are mostly independent, services but it very common for personnel to do tours of duty in other brances.
+The total active size in peacetime is about 1.3*10^9 people and they operate almost 9 million starships. The total wartime strength is about 4.6*10^10 people and about 20 million starships.
